Portugal opened qualifying round with the 1986 kit but one year after upgrading his previous kit, Portugal changed only the shirt, we never saw the white kit in this drawing because they only played with the red one in 1987.
Switzerland kits World Cup 1986 Qualifying
Swiss team uses a big logo in his chest, during the qualification round to the WC 1986 those were the kits that adidas sponsor.
Switzerland kits Euro 1988 Qualifying
Well in this Swiss kit we have very peculiar singularities, as the strange adidas logo in the chest and the adidas icon in socks that in those years wasn't a common thing. I can't find a picture of the away shorts only have a youtube reference for the game vs italy (1986) in this game the Swiss team played with the red short but the shirt was another one different in this drawing. Switzerland changed their jersey until 1987 qualifying games.
Republic of Ireland kits Euro 1988
First Euro for the Irish and they presented with a traditional no pattern adidas kit, with a Houghton goal irish team won his first game vs England and then tied 1-1 with USSR, besides 3 points on board they can't made the following level.
Soviet Union kits Euro 1988
Well another variant of the controversial adidas wild design, this time in RED. But only used by USSR team once vs England. For many the best team ever of a CCCP football.
England kits Euro 1988
England played all his matches (3) with the white kit during the competition, and also played with this one during 1987 qualifying round, The red kit (away) was seen in february 1988 in a friendly game in Tel Aviv vs Israel. A 3rd one i know that exist (light blue shirt with blue navy neck) but unfortunately I did not find reliable images of short and socks of this last one to illustrate.
Netherlands kits Euro 1988
This kit is special for dutch guys and historic one too, represents the first championship of his history, Is hard to visualize players like Van Basten, Gullit, Rijkaard, etc. in other kit, but besides all of that for me this pattern is one of the adidas wildest ever, is like "Oh! we discover the sublimation technique, let's go crazy with the patterns" I would not have surprised a photograph of a Dutch windmill, mmm maybe yes.
